About this home

This top-floor corner unit at 42 Linnaean St puts you steps from Porter Sq with all the charm of 1920s Cambridge architecture and none of the maintenance headaches. You're getting a sun-drenched one-bedroom with oversized windows, hardwood floors, high ceilings, and a wood-burning fireplace framed by built-in bookshelves. The unit features a renovated kitchen and bathroom, newer windows throughout, and a layout that maximizes light and cross-ventilation. The building is exceptionally well-managed with recent updates including a new roof, updated common areas, and strong financials. This is an animal-free building—which means cleaner air, fewer allergens, and a quieter living environment for those who value it. Heat is included in the condo fee, and you've got in-building laundry and storage. You're a short walk to Harvard Square, the Red Line, incredible restaurants, and everything that makes Cambridge worth the price tag. Top floor. Corner unit. Porter Sq location. Move-in ready!
